They're Available Online
Get ready to start writing, because
the 2005 scholarship listings are now available online and in the
September issue of Aviation for Women magazine. Women in Aviation,
International has given out $3.5 million in scholarships since
1996. Last year alone nearly $500,000 was awarded to Women in
Aviation members during the organization's annual international

year's scholarships by logging onto the organization's web site.
Scholarship recipients include pilots, mechanics, engineers,
dispatchers, flight attendants, students, teachers, and even

more than $25,000. Any member can apply. Read scholarship
descriptions carefully to make sure all requirements are met and
follow the application's directions carefully.
